Elastic Residence was a gallery space and production house for projects and performance. It was established in autumn 2004 and was situated in a house built in 1779 in Whitechapel, London. This residence was the home of artists Deej Fabyc & Simeon Nelson. In September 2010 the gallery closed at this site. Since then Elastic Residence Productions has completed a number of off site projects. We re-opened in a temporary site at 46 New Broad St in 2011 & were finally based on Essex Rd in Canonbury N1 London.

Director Deej Fabyc worked with Hannah Terry most recently and in 2005 with Joanna Callaghan to manage the space with:

Jenny Devine; Writer in Residence
